I managed to lose my factory lug nut key. Mazda wanted to charge me 150 bucks for a new set . WTF? Anyway, does anyone know of a way to key these damnt hings off. My inspection is due and i need new rubber! Help!

 

You'll trash your locks in the process, but find a similarly sized socket as the wheel lock, hammer it on, then wrench it off.

BTW, congrats on the baby girl.

Same thing happened to me. Just go to the dealership and they will let you borrow their master key set. No need to ruin sockets or spend all day hassling with it.

 

Most tire shops will also have special tools for removing lugs without keys. Just remove them and replace with plain lug nuts - people aren't dyin' to steal stock FD rims .

LOL local dealership wanted $55 to remove the locks with their master set.

 

Same happened to me. I agree with DaleClark. Cost me $5.00 per wheel. Put on plain lug nuts. Will never use lug locks again. Who wants stock wheels from a '93'.

might want to try local dealerships. they did mine for free at vallejo Mazda/Hyundai. and installed new, regular, lug nuts free of charge.

Andrew the service manager is a great guy. Thanks!

 

How about buying one from the for sale section? I bet fritz flynn has one. PM him ... he's quick and very close to you so it'll take a day to get to you.

Oh ... someone stole my stock wheels with new Pirelli PZero Assimetricos on them.

 

wheel locks all have diff keys. not sure how many but there is a whole box of them that make up the master set
